Step 5 - Install Spring Arms:
Insert spring arms into the sockets in the hitch head. Grasp the spring arm so
the bare metal surface of the bar is facing the ground. is section of the arm
will be in contact with the bare metal surface of the L-bracket and provides the
Built-in 2-Point Sway Control of the e2 hitch.
a. Hold the spring arm sideways at a 90 degree angle to the hitch head;
parallel to the tow vehicle bumper - see Figure 11a.
b. Rotate the arm slightly and drop the bottom knuckle of the trunnion
into the socket on the bottom of the hitch head.
c. Rotate the arm back to the upright position, making sure the top
knuckle of the trunnion slides into the top socket and past the top
retainer pin - see Figure 11b.
d. Make sure the arm is secure, and swing it back against the trailer tongue
so that it’s in line with the frame and ready to be lifted into place on the
L-bracket.
e. Repeat for the 2nd arm.
f. Frequently apply a small amount of bearing grease to the trunnion
knuckles and retainer pins in the hitch head to reduce wear and make
insertion easier. is will also help reduce hitch noise.
g. It is not necessary to apply lubricant to the joint where the spring arms
rest on the L-bracket. is may decrease the amount of friction at this
joint which could prevent the hitch from dampening trailer sway as
well as possible.
Step 6 - Weight Distribution Setup:
Use the following guidelines to set up and adjust your e2 hitch for weight
distribution. Good weight distribution is a critical component of the e2 hitch
a-b.
